Our first night had an excellent room but it was on the main street side and I could not sleep because of the noise outside. Hotel changed our room and we were very satisfied.

There was no breakfast. Housekeeping was an issue. There was a broken metallic pin on the carpet. I got heart on my right feet. Very annoying as I had to drive for 3 hours.
